A rookie Huron County OPP officer has been charged under the Highway Traffic Act after a crash with a civilian vehicle.

Investigators say it was around 4:50 p.m. last Wednesday afternoon when an officer finished a traffic stop and attempted to make a u-turn on Brussels Line.

It was at that point the OPP says the officer’s fully marked cruiser collided with another vehicle, sending it rolling onto its side.

Thankfully, no one was injured.

As a result of the investigation Cst. Greg Blackwell, who has been an OPP officer for a little more than a year, has been charged with “Start from a stopped position – not in safety,” under the Highway Traffic Act.
